Rumors About the Termination of tt
Rig Strike.

Big Strike.
New YORK, February 3d.-The air is full
of rumors about negotiations looking to
the termination of the big strike some of
which are of Wall street origin, and some
are credited to the Executive Committees
of the District Assemblies The former
allege that the men will all be. at work
again within "a hours. The managers of
the strike, however, assert with much en-
phasis that they are doing all in their
power to extend it, They are endeavoring
to take in all the towns on the coast be-
tween Maine and Florida. This only
could be done by exerting the great inhu-
ence District Assembly No. 40 has with
the General Executive Board of the Knights
of Labor, and then only by sending repre-
sentative men with orders to the different
District Assemblies at Pytbagorus Hall.
the Knights headquarters. The new idea
of the strikers, OF refusing to pay rent,
was the uppermost topic OF discussion.
One of the delegates, well informed as to
what is going on in the council of District
Assembly No. 40, says: '' | only know it
is being talked up by the heads of all the
Assemblies. Many regard it as the trump
Knights in New York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City to refuse TO pay a cent of rent
to their landlords until the present strike
has been settled in favor of the working
men. 1t is purely an Irish idea, adopted
from Parnell. We are told there are at
least 10 000 Knights in New York. Jersey
City and Brooklyn who are already said
to be committed to il. If the plans were
carried out the Courts would be so blocked
with eiectment cases that some OF them
could not be reached for months"

Youths Companion.

The spirit of Casabianca is not
dead at least it was not sixteen
years ago. Possibly, in these mod
ern days, it is slightly mingled
with mischief, as this story Of war
times indicates. An Irishman sta
toned at Pensacola, in 1861, was
placed upon picket one night on
the beach, with orders to walk be-
tween two points and to allow no
one to pass without whispering the
countersign.
About midnight the Corporal
with the relief discovered by the
moonlight that the sentinel was up
to his waist in water, the tide hav-
ing set in since he was posted.
"Who goes there?'
Relief"
"Halt, relief; advance, Corporal,
and give the countersign."
Corporal-"I am not going in
there to be drowned. Come out
here and let me relieve you.
Sentinel" Will l, indade The
Liftinant tould me not to lave me
post
Corporal" Well, then, I'll leave
you in the water all night" (turn-
ing away at the moment.)
Sentinel" Halt I'll put hole
in We if we pass widout the counter
sign. Trims me orders from the
Liftinant" Cooking and leveling
his gum
Corporal" You stupid, every
body will hear me if l bawl it out
to you"
Sentinel" Yis, me darlint; an
the Liftinant said it must be given
in whisper. In wild ye! Me fin
gers on the trigger, and me gun
may 60 off"
The Corporal had to yield, and
wade in to the sentinel. who ex-
claimed: "Be jabers, it's well
we've come; the bastely tide has
almost drowned me !"
